It also features the Springfield Armory forward scout-style picatinny. A handy, tactical rifle, the M1A SOCOM 16 has a specially-engineered 16.25 barrel that’s mated to the gas system with a proprietary muzzle brake to reduce felt recoil in a big way. You might find out after doing all this that the M1A is better without a scope, and wind up taking all the stuff back off the rifle and returning it to it's basic form. The M1A SOCOM 16 takes the classic M1A to a whole new level. All photos used are stock unless specifically noted otherwise. Best part about the ARMS base is that it sits very low and is out of the way if the scope is off the rifle.

If you go with the GI stock then you will need to get a mount base for the scope rings, I prefer the ARMS #18 on the M14 receiver but they are not without fault, some rifles don't work well with the ARMS base and will require work to fit to the receiver and possibly some work to make the rifle function with the mount in place. The M1A rifles, from the compact to the full sized. If you get the Troy then you will be set for a scope mount base, if you get the Sage then you will need the stripper clip base that will allow a ring to be mounted.

Get rid of the forward mount on the barrel, if you get either the Troy or Sage you will need to take the forward mount off anyway and bear in mind that anything added to one of these rifles forward of the magwell will change the balance of the rifle signifigantly. The M1A was tuned specifically for reliability and accuracy, not adjustability. The later will be much less expensive but will not be much of a change from the SOCOM as it is out of the box.

If it were mine I would go one of two different ways with this, either get the Troy chassis or the Sage CQB if you must have a pistol grip and an extendable/adjustable buttstock or just use a GI fiberglass stock with the GI buttplate.
